WHAT IT DOES

What android_type does on Dialogbrain

AI agents use android_type to create or update resources in Dialogbrain, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Dialogbrain environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	Yes	Text to type
`channel_account_id`	integer	—	Android device channel_account ID. Omit when the workspace has a single Android device; REQUIRED when it has more than one (e.g. WhatsApp + LINE), else the call

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why android_type is rated Medium

An AI agent can call android_type faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Dialogbrain by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs android_type safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dialogbrain, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For android_type, this is the rule to start with:

android_type Rate-limited

android_type stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "android_type": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "android_type_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Dialogbrain, apply this rule, and every android_type call is checked against it from then on.
